Fishing with Glass Minnows (Anchovies) as Bait

Glass minnows are anchovies. These minnows are small, usually no more than 3 inches long and they are transparent with a broad silver stripe down the side. They are tough to catch with cast nets, so most anglers end up buying them in frozen blocks to use as chum. Cut small pieces and throw them into the water. They are very effective when you are anchored, but they can also work with a slow troll.
